Let's Talk about LOST! ?

(Click the pics!)
Eko is chopping wood with an ax; to build the church. {Cross on black cord} Ana Lucia is standing there with no shoes on and asks him, "What are you building?"
Eko smiles, happy to see her and says, "Hello Ana".
Ana-“Well, hello yourself. So you gonna tell me. What is it?”
He tells her he is "building a church".
Ana crosses her arms and sarcastically wonders, "Now why the hell would you wanna do that?"
Eko- "Because I was told to."
Ana-"Told to by who?"
Eko- "I was just told...I think it was in a dream."
Ana- "A dream like this one?"
Ana now has a gunshot wound and is bleeding from the corner of her mouth and forehead.   She tells Eko that he needs to help John. {Her voice is a bit distorted}
****"FLASHES" of...The Tailies version of the crash, in the water, the monster, body floating in the water, cross on the chain, the feet of the others walking by when he was with Jin, teddy bear, campfire, Jin blind folded, 9 virgin Mary statues from outside the church in his village, Eko and Charlie burn the drug plane, black smoke rising from it, Eko's priest brother, Arrow station with Dharma symbol with fire, Bible he found, Jesus Stick w/ 23 psalm,, revelations:3,"Hateth", Coi_sians, T:4, TITUS :3, Priest skeleton w/gold tooth, Locke, Eko's confrontation w/smoke monster when he sees his life flashes inside it, Cross w/chain on skeleton body, Drug/missionary plane about to take off, soldiers going after the plane, brother yelling, {the very next frame of Yemi is purposely blurred}, the orientation film w/Marvin Candle, Swan Dharma logo from hatch.****

Eko with an ax in the hatch; see the Swan Dharma logo and goes into the computer room. Yemi sits at the computer with his hands folded. There is a glass of water to his left and a red toolbox.
Eko-"Yemi."
Yemi smiles, gets up, nods and says "Hello brother."
Eko hurries to him and says "Forgive me! I should have listened to you. You were right. I didn't mean to do it." {Do what exactly?}
Yemi- "Shhhh. Your work being done in this place is important, Eko. It is more important than anything. And it is in danger. You must help John. He has lost his way. You must make him take you to the question mark.”
Eko looks confused.
The countdown clock beeps, it turns to black and red '?'. {Yemi seems disappointed the timer is up.} The computer keyboard is all question marks. Yemi enters a code, the beeping stops; the timer resets.
Yemi- "John will not want to show you, so you must make him. {The sound of a hum.} There are many distractions brother. But you must move past them. What's done is done. Do you understand?"
Eko says yes. The hatch starts to rumble and shake. You can hear magnet sound; see the computer screen.
Yemi- "Eko, bring the ax!"    We see and hear the ax in the dark.
Eko jolts AWAKE, upset and holding on to the cross around his neck. Charlie asks if he's alright. Eko grabs the ax and tells Charlie, "I need to find John".

In the jungle at night:
Locke is still on crutches, Kate, Jack and Sawyer are complaining about Locke, the guns/Ana. Sawyer is pissed and says to Jack, ”Well, ain't that swell. Gimpy McCrutch over here covers up that the Artist Formally Known as Henry Gale tried to strangle your little Amiga, and suddenly it's on me when she goes vigilante.”
Jack-”How about you go back to the beach.”
Kate makes them stop the bickering.
Michael stumbles out of the hatch doors, "He shot me. He's gone. He ran out."
Michael says he was sleeping and heard gun shots.
Jack- "Come on, We gotta get you up, alright."
Eko shows up. "Let me help."

Sawyer and Kate are inside the hatch and find Ana Lucia dead and Libby on the ground.   The armory is empty. {I love that the lava lamp is on.}  Kate checks on Ana Lucia; she’s dead. {and wearing a wedding ring.}
Libby is still alive, barely.  Michael is troubled about that! {Michael looks like, WTF? I shot her 2x!}
Jack tells Kate, "We gotta get her up. We gotta get her up to the back room."
Eko blesses Ana's face/body that is now laid in the armory.   Eko looks up and prays.
Locke looks on.
{Jack and Libby have on the same color shirts.}
Dr. Jack and Nurse Kate work on Libby; who is in shock. {Here I go over thinking! Jack tells Kate to keep pressure on this one.  But when Jack walks out of the bunk room I don't see Kate keeping pressure on any Libby.  Are those the only set of bunks in the hatch? Please tell me.}
Jack asks Michael “How long ago did this happen? How long ago did he leave?”
Michael-"About 20 min, maybe a half hour ago."
Jack wants to pick up the trail to catch up to him.   Sawyer reminds Jack the guy has a head start and a gun.  Jack says that he shot three of our people; one's dead. {Ana's one of his people? NOT.} Sawyer’s concerned who will take care of Libby while Jack’s off playing Daniel Boone.
Eko volunteers to go.  He asks Locke about his tracking experience, "We will find his trail together."
Jack tells them if they find anything to come back there and they'll figure out what to do next, together.
Eko with his ax and John with his crutches, head out.
{Flash Whoosh}
Eko sits in a dark confessional going through the motions of being a priest. He is hearing confession, "How long has it been since your last confession?" {Eko looks really thrilled. LOL! He even checks his watch.}
In the confessional is the adulterer guy who forged I.D. papers for a guy pretending to be a priest. The guy (Mr. Caldwell) gives Eko a passport. {Sydney Australia is all over it, 's on top M 223652, National status, Australian citizen, a few dates 8/23/68, 16/4/04, 15/4/14} The guy has friends in L.A. He can get Eko with them to do 'stuff'.



Eko is  known  as Father Tunde. Eko introduces the man to the monsignor as the man who's helping him plan his trip to the U.S.. The monsignor has bad news about Tunde’s trip. Eko has to postpone his trip because it appears they have a miracle.
Inside the church a mother is telling Father Tunde about her daughter who has drowned and came back to life.  Charlotte, whose not much of a swimmer, must have slipped and fell into the river, drowns and the next day she woke up! Dead, and the next day she woke up!
Mrs. Malkin tells the unbeliever Eko that "It's a miracle, a confirmation of faith. Everyone needs to know about this...The world needs to know about this."
Mrs. Malkin tells Tunde that Charlotte is at home with her husband the psychic.  Monsignor tells her that the church will conduct an investigation before anyone can be told.     Father Tunde will start this process.
The monsignor chose Eko for this because he doesn't believe what the woman says.

Eko leads John through the dark jungle.
John asks Eko, "Are you seeing something I'm not? Hey! I haven't seen a single track or piece of sign since we left the hatch. What the hell are you following?" {WTF is a piece of sign? Hmmm?}
Eko-"Where is the question mark?”
John doesn't get it.
John tells him "You keep chasing after your own shadow. I'm going back" {YEAH!}
Persistent Eko says to John- "I know you don't want to show me, but you must."
John- "No. I don't have to show you anything."
Then Eko is sorry because now he must head butt him; knocking him out! {People are always getting knocked out!}

John starts to wake up; his head bothers him.
Eko admits he “hit” John because he was being difficult.
John-“Are you insane?”
No, Eko is not.  Eko also shares with John that his friend "Ana Lucia wants me to help you, John...Find the question mark."
John- “You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Do you?”
Eko says no, “But you know what I am talking about, John. And that is all that matters.”
Frustrated John gives Eko his drawing of the blast door map with the question mark in the center.
John-"Here. You wanna find your damn question mark? Here. Here. This is it, right here. Take it! Take it! Because it’s nothing. It’s a memory. It's 10 seconds of nothing."
Eko is trying to figure out what direction to head.
John still insists the hatch isn't his.
Eko- “If the Swan is where we came from, then we go that way.”
John feels they shouldn’t even be out there and that Ana Lucia would still be alive if I’d just told Jack that Henry attacked her.
Eko- “Now she wants us to go here, John. She wants us to go here, John. Together. She said this in my dream.”
John whispers, “Oh. Of course. Your dream.”
Eko wants John to tell him, "Haven’t you ever followed a dream?"
{Flash Whoosh}



Eko interviews/investigates Ian.
Ian- “So, the Vatican is really interested in this one.”
Eko says it depends on what he puts in his report. Ian got the call 1 am.  Ambrose brought this girl in. She'd been dead in the water two hours. Eko wonders if Ian’s had much experience in this type of death.
Of course Ian has, he’s an undertaker, it’s his day job; he’s perfectly qualified to be a coroner as he did go to medical school.
Eko asks when he found out that she was not dead.
Ian doesn’t expect Eko to believe him but shares it was during the autopsy.
He recorded the autopsy and plays it for Eko.
While the tape plays Ian leaves the room. “This is a Caucasian female. She's 161 cm, 51.3 kilos. Body prepped and washed by the very lovely Valerie McDervish...Commencing with the post. This is a clear case of drowning. I'll begin with a thoracic...” You hear the terrible screams. {Listen to the screams very closely!!}
Ian returns tells Eko to "Take it, I don't ever want to listen to that tape again."
He gives it to Eko.

In the jungle, Eko is trying to follow John's map.
John- “You lost already?”
Eko feels John’s map is inexact.
John- “No kidding.”
Eko asks John "These landmarks, is this a river?" questioning a point on the map.
John- "No. It’s a wavy line. I didn't draw it, I just transcribed it, I told you. I don't even know if it is a map."  {WOW!! Maybe it's not a map.}
Eko will assume it is.
John asks what the ax is for. Eko admits he doesn’t know yet. Eko takes a few steps and crunches on a Virgin Mary statue. They walk a little bit further and find the missionary plane.
Eko-“You were the one who found this plane, yes.”
Locke seems sad, “Yeah. It was up there.”
Eko-“And what made it fall?”
John- “Boone. Boone made it fall. Then he died. A sacrifice that the island demanded.”
Eko turns to John, confused and says, “Excuse me.”
John says it’s nothing.
Eko tells John that they will make camp, get some sleep and wait for FURTHER INSTRUCTION. {WOW!! YEAH!!}

In the hatch impatient Jack asks Kate “Where the hell are they?”
Kate wants him to calm down, “Finding his trail in the dark’s not gonna be easy. They'll be back.”
Jack washes blood off his hands.
Michael asks Jack if Libby said anything.
Nope, she’s still unconscious; the bleeding has stopped and that’s not good.    Jack can make Libby comfortable but he doesn’t have what he needs.    Sawyer wonders why their all looking at him; he gave them all the meds two days ago.
Jack needs the heroin.
Sawyer- “Give me 20 minutes.”
Even though it doesn’t take two people to carry it, Jack insists Kate to go with Sawyer.     Jack knows the heroin is in his stash; this way Kate can see where he has the guns, or “let poor Libby suffer" says Sawyer. {He does have a heart!} Sawyer and Freckles head out.
Troubled Mike glances over to see Libby.


It is daylight on Sawyer and Kate's walk back to his stash on the beach.    Kate is curious about how Ana got his gun.   Sawyer lies and says maybe she lifted it off of him.   Kate mocks Ana pick-pocketing his gun but wonders how.
Sawyer-”If I knew how she did it, then she wouldn’t be able to do it now, would she?”
They arrive at his tent. Kate assumed the stash is somewhere else.
Sawyer opens the fabric door for her and says, “Do you have to make everything so damn difficult? Just go in.”
The stash, guns and heroin are all right there!   Sawyer kept them right underneath himself all this time. {He wipes the dirt off the stash cover; It is a piece Oceanic wreckage. It looks like a BULLS EYE or TARGET! There is a bottle in wine/liquor in his tent.}

Sawyer is pleased he fooled Kate; he hands her a Virgin Mary statue.

On their way back to the hatch, red shirt wearing Hurley asks them if they've seen Libby around. Kate breaks the news to him.
{It was daylight when Libby went back for the blankets, dark when Michael fell out of the hatch doors, he tells jack that 'it' happened 20-30 minutes before, now it's daylight again. How much time has passed?}







John is sleeping near Eko and his extinguished campfire.
{White smoke rises}

A whisper "Shhhh. You’ll wake John...Come. Follow me.”
Eko and his ax follow Yemi. They climb up the cliff with the roots from the trees. {Yemi kicks ass on the climb! It reminds me of the Steven King story Pet Sematary. When Judd and Louis climb over the thick piled high brush and sticks, Judd moves quickly and swiftly up and over it and on to the pet sematary. I just wanted to share that with you.}

Once at the top, Yemi is in a wheelchair.
Yemi- "Wake up John!"
{Listen to how that is said}
Eko falls!
John wakes up with a jolt!
Eko with his stick asks John if he had a dream with a man; a priest.   Eko tells John the man he saw was his brother; that is why they have to go together.    This is how they are going to be led and how they will know where to go next.
John doesn’t know where to go, "It wasn't even me, it was you. It didn’t...He wanted me to follow him.” {Important!}
Eko -“Follow him where?”
They look up to the top of the cliff. Eko is happy and tells John to wait there.
John feels it was just a dream, it's not safe,  but Eko goes anyway.
{Flash Whoosh}



Eko goes to the Malkin’s home to speak to their daughter. {It's a day later} {2001-house number} Joyce panics that Eko is there; it’s not a good time.
Richard Malkin orders his wife and daughter back into the house.
Charlotte doesn’t say a word and never takes her eyes off of Eko.
Richard reveals to Eko there was no miracle.
Eko says the doctor who treated his daughter feels differently {Doctor?}
Richard says the Doctor is trying to cover up his own negligence. "He tell you the whole story...how she supposedly drowned? She fell into a mountain river, her body shut down; she went into hypothermia which made her appear dead."
Mrs. Malkin is a zealot!  Everything his wife is doing is to spite him because knows he's a fraud. Richard reveals he makes his living as a psychic, "That's what I do. I gather intelligence on people and I exploit it.   Every day I meet people looking for a miracle Desperate to find one, but there are none to be had. Not in this world anyway.”
{Is that what he's doing to/with Eko right now? If he tells Eko no miracle, then he can go on his trip and be on that "plane".}
Eko will report back that there is no miracle here, “Your daughter is alive. This is all that matters.”
Richard looks relieved. Eko and the girl share a look through a window.
{Flash Whoosh}


Eko works hard to climb up the cliff with is ax. John warns Eko to be careful. Eko slips a bit but holds on. {Check out how Locke is standing holding his crutches.}

Once up top John asks what's up there, “Do you see anything?” {What a beautiful view!} Eko sees the beach craft plane and what he believes is a “?”.  {It looks like a circle to me}


Eko investigates the dirt on the ground and proclaims the earth has been salted so that nothing can grow.   {Like Carthage.}
John wonders why because there’s nothing there. {Hmmm.}
Eko believes a circle, a target, so that this place can be seen from up above.

Locke wonders, "They? What place?"
Eko-“The place that this plane fell upon. Come on John!”
John looks a bit baffled.
Eko pokes around the plane with his ax and hits something metallic. There is another hatch underneath the plane. Together they push the plane and wipe dirt off the top to reveal the hatch. Eko uses his ax to open it. John would like to open it too so they open it together.
This hatch has two doors. The men look down into the very deep hatch.

In the Swan hatch Jack cracks open the Virgin Mary statue. {IMPORTANT:Watch Jack's face when he holds/looks at the heroin.}
Hurley tells Michael that he was going to have his first date with Libby. Hurley is glad Michael is okay. {Michaels' expression.}

John and Eko make their descent into the hatch.
Entering the new hatch first is Eko then John. This hatch has a ladder. We see a Dharma logo. This hatch has power/electricity.
John turns the power on.

Inside a little room there are two chairs; there is heroin on the desk tops.    There is a wall with nine monitors. Monitor number five is on. {Static} Locke turns the other monitors on.
One monitor airs footage from the Swan hatch; Jack is walking around. There are cameras everywhere and a computer.  John turns on the lights.
The computer screen is on and shows 'Print log Y or N'. Locke presses Y execute.
The printer prints out the log showing numbers and the word “accepted” after them.
Eko finds a closet with blank composition notes books.
John sends his blast door map {I thought he gave it to Eko? Is this a different one? Are there 2, 3 or more?} up in the pneumatic tube.
Eko finds an orientation video tape.
Eko loads the tape into the top loading VCR.


The DHARMA INITIATIVE-ORIENTATION-STATION 5 -THE PEARL.
They watch video 5 of 6. The video plays on monitor 5.
The video is hosted by Dr. Mark Wickmund. {No fake arms.}
The Pearl is a monitoring station. The activities of participants of Dharma projects can be observed and recorded. {People are shown exercising} Not only for posterity but for the ongoing refinement of the initiative as a whole.   Karen DeGroot wrote "Careful observation is the only key to true.. and complete awareness." Participant’s tour of duty will last three weeks.   You and partner will observe a psychological experiment in progress.  The other team members aren't aware they're under surveillance or that they are the subjects of an experiment.  Working in eight hours shifts you and your partner will record everything you observe in the notebooks.   What is the nature of the experiment, you might ask?  What do the subjects believe they are accomplishing, as they struggle to fulfill their tasks? You as the observer don't need to know.  All you need to know is that the subjects believe their job is of the utmost importance.  Remember, everything that occurs, no matter how minute or seemingly unimportant MUST be recorded.   Each time the notebook is filled with the fruits of your diligent observation, {Tape glitches-static} place it in the container provided, place it in pneumatic tube and presto, it will be transported directly to us.   At the end of eight hour shift, proceed to the Pala Ferry, which will take you back to the barracks and prepare for your next… On behalf of the DeGroots, Alvar Hanso and all of us at the Dharma Initiative, thank you, Namaste and good luck. {The credit at the end of video is The Hanso Foundation 1980.}

Eko asks John if he'd like to watch that again.
Disappointed John says no, he's seen enough.   Pleased Eko wants to bring the notebooks and papers back as he believes the work John has been doing is more important than ever; pushing the button. John says pushing the button is not work, it's a joke. "Rats in a maze, with no cheese."
Eko insists its work.
Eko-"We're are being tested…The reason to do it, push the button is not because we are told to do so in a film...We do it because we believe we are meant to. Isn't that the reason you pushed it, John?"
John is getting angry- "I was never meant to do anything. Every single second of my pathetic little life is as useless as that button. You think it's important, you think its necessary, its nothing. It's meaningless. And who are you to tell me that it's not?"
{Flash Whoosh}
Eko at the Oceanic check in counter at the airport. {Another agent behind the counter. Not Krissy. And we don’t see any of the fuselage passengers here. Only Libby. Interesting, huh.} Flight 8 1 5 leaving from gate 23. 
Charlotte {The un-dead/alive} waits to speak to Eko. Her father doesn't want her talking to Eko but she had to see Eko. Crazy Charlotte promised to deliver a message, ”He says you were a good priest".
Yemi said this. This upsets Eko, “Speaking about my brother is not a joke. So you should be very careful about what you say next.”
Charlotte- "I saw him when I was between places. He said that you would come and see me. He said that even though you were pretending, you were a good man… He wants you to know that he will see you soon. He says that even though you don’t have faith in yourself, that he has faith in you.”
Eko raises his voice wondering why she is doing this to him. Libby happens by and asks if everything is alright. Charlotte nods her head yes at Libby. {Check out Libby's body language and look she gives!}
Charlotte tells Eko- "He has faith in you. One day you'll believe me". {Flight 815 is now boarding for L.A.}

Eko tells John that the cross he wears was worn by his brother Yemi. {Cross on a brown cord} Yemi was a great man. “A priest. A man of god.   And because I betrayed him, he was shot and died. He was placed on a plane, which took off from an air strip in Nigeria, half a world from here. Then the plane that I was on crashed on this Island.   And somehow, here, I found my brother again. I found him in the same plane that took off from Nigeria in the same plane that lies above us now, that has concealed this place.   And I took this cross from around Yemi's neck and put it back on mine. Just as it was on the day I first took another man's life. So let me ask you, how can you say this is meaningless?  I believe the work being done in the hatch is more important that anything. If you will not continue to push the button John, I will."
Eko packs up notebooks and papers.

In the hatch, Jack shoots Libby up with {Heroin}.
Hurley kneels down beside Libby, who is trying to open her eyes.
Hurley is crying-“Hey. It’s Hurley. Hugo. I’m sorry I forgot the blankets. I’m sorry I forgot the blankets.
Libby struggles but manages to say "Michael".
Jack tells her “He's okay. He made it, Libby. It’s okay. It’s alright."
Libby dies. They all cry. {I'm crying cause they're all crying!!}
Sawyer comforts Kate.
Jack stands in front of the bathroom mirror. {Two Jacks.}
The beeping starts on the countdown clock.
We see Eko and Locke {crutches} heading back.
Hurley is with Libby.
Michael is standing in the armory with one hell of a look on his face.
Ana Lucia’s body is covered except for her head/face; looks more like she’s sleeping.
The beeping continues.
We see the computer, waiting there for someone to enter in the code.


 

? is a great episode! 
Things are NOT what they seem on the surface.   Eko tells Ana he "thinks" he was told about building a church in a dream.    Is his speaking with Ana a dream?   In this place what are "dreams" or "visions" and what could be real, manipulated imagery or even memory?    The ever important orientation video mentions a bit about the subject “believing” their job is of the utmost importance, this is what "Yemi" tells "Eko" as well.  
With the similarities we witnessed with Sawyer here and the "target", how does he connect? How about the "work being done in the hatch"?    Does this have anything to do with the "work" Jack is doing in there with Libby and the heroin? Definitely lines are blurred!

Things to note...Questions to ask...

✈ Eye Color
✈ Dreams; an altered state of consciousness.
✈ Exercise. Study. Experiment. Test. Learn.
✈ Boone
✈ What is Eko's "work" in this place, really? Is he there to build a church or build something else?! By the way, another word for church is temple.  Important? Maybe...
✈ Dark and Light. Eko and John.  Two brothers.   Eko finds his "brother", again. Hmmm??   Eko also bears the cross of his brother.   What is the connection with Eko and Locke?
✈ Two different versions of the cross. One on a chain, one on a black cord.
✈ Could John be the original artist of the blast door map or just the scribe?
✈ Jack handles the Heroin in the Swan hatch and Locke and Eko come in contact with it at the Pearl Station.
✈ Blast door map is the shape is of the Bagua (8 sides).The ba gua literally "eight symbols": are eight diagrams used in Taoist cosmology  to represent the fundamental principles of reality, seen as a range of eight interrelated concepts.  Buddhism.
✈ The '?' is shown in the middle of the blast door map. It marks the center with 7 Hatches around it. 6 hatches are shown, 1 is crossed out.
✈ The blast door map shows the '?' in the center of the hatches. Yet here, this opening to this hatch is basically right at the question mark. So is this an exit not an entrance into this hatch? Another hatch with two ways in and/or out.
✈ Just as the episode Orientation could be about their orientation to the Island itself, couldn't the video in the Pearl be part of the answer about what's happening to them? Clues to people watching! Watching the observers.
✈ Ian also means John!
✈ Drugs. Heroin {fruit/food}.
✈ Tour of duty is a military term.
✈ Oyster and Pearl: A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk.
✈ We hear about to the DeGroots and Alvar Hanso in addition to the Dharma Initiative.
✈There was a bulls eye/target underneath Sawyer. The Oceanic Logo fits into this idea here.
✈ Hurley feels responsible for Libby's death.
✈ Who does the swan hatch belong to? John or Jack?
✈ Again we are shown that things are not real. Even the participants in the Dharma Initiative were lied to about what they were doing. Secrets/Truth is kept from them.
✈ Is it easy to fake a death and have someone fooled? Here we see people appearing dead, although they are NOT!  {Dead and then come back to life/reborn.}
✈ There is a target or bulls eye to be seen from above. Be seen by whom? {To me it looks like a circle in the salted earth}
Are the answers right underneath them? Very deep below them or above them or within them?
✈ I.D.-Identity.  New Identity/different identity.
✈Wavy Line- What could this represent? Brain waves, perhaps.


Vocabulary and Research...
♦  Map- Computer and video games : Where "map" may refer to a level in computer or video games.
   - MAP (file format)a computer file format.
   - MAP (higher-order function)a higher-order function used to apply a function to a list of values and return another list with the results.
♦  Boon- A blessing or benefit.
♦  Question mark: the punctuation mark (?) placed at the end of a sentence or phrase intended as a direct question. It is also used after a word or phrase whose appropriateness is in doubt, or after a number or date whose accuracy is in doubt.
   - Used in computer programming.
   - It is also used in Math equations.
   -Minkowski's question mark function, a mathematical function
♦  The Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) is a North American nymphalid butterfly.
♦ ♦ More importantly I also learned, it is an algebraic chess notation. "?" denotes a BAD MOVE, and "??" a blunder. I find that fitting to our story.


It is VERY important to note that John dreamed that he was Eko following his brother. A dream where John wasn’t himself but actually someone else.  In the dream Yemi was in the wheelchair, as representation of John, but Locke felt he embodied Eko.  Who dreams were these...really?  We can't count out other hints to things pointing to "Yourself".  This is telling us something very important.

Looking for the '?'.
Is it about finding another hatch? I think...no.  Maybe this hatch just distracted them from what they really were supposed to be looking for.   After all finding this new hatch makes Locke lose faith even more.  Eko was supposed to help him find his way, not steer John further off the path, or was it?  Eko feels the work in the hatch is more important than anything.  I feel like their job on the "Island" is of the utmost importance...this is the place that they will make changes in themselves and find what has been lost.
We know that there are many hatches so, which hatch has the more important work? Is it one we have not seen at this point?

?... Is it possible that Eko still missed the mark? Did his quest for the '?' end up being a 'Bad Move or Blunder'? Was there a distraction? Or did he do exactly what "someone" instructed him to do?
Did John wake up?

Love to all who are "LOST"™

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.

Born to Run

Let's talk about LOST! Born to Run.

{NO: PREVIOUSLY ON LOST}
A shot of a corn field area.


{Click the pics!}
A convertible car, driven by a blond/light woman, pulls into a motel parking lot. {Backpack in back seat.}
The woman reveals her stash of different state license plates that are hidden under the false floor of the trunk. She changes the Nebraska plate to an Ohio plate on her car.

As a family checks out of their no smoking room, 121, leaving the door open of course, the blond commandeers the room; but not before stealing towels and shampoo. {Note: The family leaves in a red van and the maid walks by the vacated room to open the door to another room. Also note when Kate enters the room she turns the door hanging sign from one side to the opposite side.} She changes her hair color to brown/dark.
This is “Kate”.














Kate interrupts the motel counter clerk from {looks like he’s playing a video game, I think}.



She’s expecting a letter, “Hold for guest arrival.”
Her alias is Joan Hart.  {Heart}
His filing system is in a very interesting shoe box. He gives her the letter.





 She sits in the car {Top closed} reads the letter and cries.
{Cash}
 We get a shot panning up toward the clouds…

{Flash Whoosh}
…A toy plane.
Kate is flying the toy plane in her hands {even tilts it nose down.}.
Charlie-“Platinum!”
He blurts that out as he walks up to Kate strumming his guitar.
Charlie-“As in platinum record. As in a million units sold. Now, Drive Shaft's albums must have spiked when everybody found out that I died in some catastrophic plane disaster. When I come back, alive, it's going to be insane.”
He is SO happy! Kate asks if he thinks the raft will work.
Charlie-“Yeah, of course it will work. Look at that thing. It's not a raft. They built a sodding boat. And when they get picked up… the helicopters will come… making us ridiculously and eternally famous. What's the matter, don't you want to be famous?”
Kate looks over to see commotion by the raft and asks Charlie what he thinks is going on over there.

Arzt- “Sure, you can absolutely wait a few weeks before you launch. I was just assuming you didn't want to die.”


Michael- “So, when is the next time we can launch?”
Arzt tells him maybe four months.
Sawyer- “C’mon, even a weather man on TV don't know what's going to happen. Why are we listening to Arzt?”
Arzt reveals proudly it's because he’s a doctor and Sawyer’s a hillbilly.

Sawyer corrects him, “You're a damn high school science teacher.”
Jack wants to hear what Arzt has to say.
Arzt educates while Jin pulls on a wire. ”It's been raining every afternoon. That means that we are on the cusp on monsoon season. Monsoon season is bad. Now, the trade winds are blowing north right now… shipping lanes are north… so north is exactly where you want to be.”
He continues, “It means that when monsoon season hits the trade winds are going to shift to the south. The raft goes with the wind. Can anyone tell me what is the only piece of land that is south of us?”
The good student Jack {with key around his neck} answers- “Antarctica.”
Arzt-“That's right, Jack. Antarctica.”
Michael- “So, when do we have to leave?”
Arzt tells him, “Yesterday.”
Kate looks concerned.

Kate catches up to Michael and asks, “So obviously you believe him?”
Michael doesn’t know, but isn’t taking any chances. Kate inquires about his preparedness.
Michael-“Kate, no offense, but I've got work to do. Why the sudden interest?”
Kate-“Because I'm going with you.”
Michael tells her the raft’s full, “We need four, we got four.”
This includes Sawyer; they needed the stuff he had so he bought his way on. Kate feels that should only count for the first raft that burned. Michael isn’t going to get into semantics with her…
Kate informs him Sawyer doesn’t even know how to sail but she does. She spent two summers crewing J boats. Michael doesn’t budge and feels a deals a deal. So Kate plays the “Walt” card claiming him going-“It’s dangerous”.
Pissed off Michael decides what’s best for his boy, “And right now what’s best for him is to get the hell off this island. The raft’s full.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate walks down the hallway of a hospital with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There is an announcement for the Hospital chaplain to report the Neuro ICU. This scene is bathed in purple.
Kate tells the nurse behind the glass, “I have a delivery for Diane Jansen.”
Nurse-“Right, she just came up from ICU. She's in room two zero eight. It's around the corner to your right.”
Kate sees an officer sitting, reading a newspaper guarding a room. She uses the flowers to hide her face as she walks by him.

A doctor gets in to his car on parking level 3.
Kate shocks him as she’s been hiding in his back seat.
Tom- “Oh, Katie. What are you doing here?”
Kate shares Diane’s dying of cancer and she owed it to her to go and see her. Tom heard about Diane’s situation. Kate is hiding in the back of his car because she needs his help.
{Flash Whoosh}
Jin is busy working with a wire for the raft’s sail. Sun communicates with one cuff Jin in Korean.
Sun-“Are you going? Please Jin, talk to me.”
Jin says yes and Sun walks away.

Jack asks “How much further?”
Jack and Sayid are walking in the jungle. Sayid tells him they’re almost there. Sayid hadn’t told Jack where they’re going because he feels it's better for Jack to see it for himself but Jack isn’t so sure it is. If Sayid doesn’t tell him why he brought him out there he’s going to turn around.
Locke appears! “He brought you out here because I asked him to. I asked him not to tell you. I wanted you to have an open mind.”
Jack wonders, “Open mind about what?”
Locke motions for Jack to follow him.
Locke shows him…the hatch.
Jack- “My god, what is this thing?”
Locke-“Exactly. I guess it's time we talked about this.”

Michael is dragging a large piece of metal past Sawyer.
Sawyer is drinking water and calls to him. ”Yo, chief. Dumb question here…we're sailing out in the ocean, right?”
Michael-“Do you mind?”
Sawyer wonders why Sulu is packing a suitcase full of salted fish when they should be about to catch fish.
Michael asks him if he knows anything about surviving at sea, I.e., sailing, navigating, steering a raft.
Sawyer-“Do you?”
Michael feels it doesn't matter what he knows, “I built it. Maybe you are the wrong guy to go on the raft.”
Sawyer-“You're going to vote me off, Mickey? And who the hell's going to take my place?”

Kate is burning a passport.
Pissed off Sawyer asks Kate what the hell does she think she’s doing.
Sawyer- "Don't give me the aw-golly eyes. Michael just told me you were jockeying for my spot on the raft.”
Cocky Kate says she was just asking some questions and Michael must have misunderstood her.
Sawyer grabs her by the arm because he is on to her and knows what she’s doing. “Yeah, just like I know why you wanted that Halliburton case so bad, the one that belonged to that U.S. Marshal who was flying with us. You were his prisoner.”
Kate-“Let go of me.”
Sawyer-“The only chance of running is getting on that raft, ain't it? We get picked up by a ship and they come back to rescue the rest of you all…there's going to be a nice big asterisk next to your name. Don't worry puddin', your secrets' safe with me. But just so you know… no way in hell you're getting my spot on that raft.”
Kate- “Hey Sawyer. I want your spot; I'll get your spot.” She swaggers away.

Michael and Jin work on the raft. Michael wants Walt to give him the water.
Walt asks him what he and Sawyer were arguing about. {Watch Michael's body language and listen to his words, carefully.}
Michael-“I told him something he didn't want to hear.”
He tells Walt Sawyer wants on the raft badly because he knows it's going to work.
Walt-“When we get rescued we're going to come back for everybody else, right?”
Michael- “Yeah, sure, of course. The thing is…this island, uh, is, uh… finding it again might be hard.”
Walt-“Can't we fly around and look for it?”
Michael-“Absolutely, but there's no guarantees. That's why you and me...”
Michael feels sick, wobbles, fluffs it off and then doubles over in pain. He tells Walt to get Jack. {Jin, who is near them, doesn’t immediately jump down to help.}
Walt runs through the jungle and comes upon Kate and Sun. He tells the girls he needs help with his dad; his stomach is really bad. Kate will get Jack and Sun will take Walt back to Michael. Sun puts her water bottle down on the ground {in the middle of the friggin jungle} and runs off with Walt.

Kate runs through the jungle calling out for Jack; looking for him.

At the hatch Jack asks Locke how long has he known about this.  Locke, who is playing with a stick, reveals three weeks, give or take. {Jack is on the hatch and Locke and Sayid are on the ground outside of the dug up hatch.}
Jack- “Three weeks. You've been out here for three weeks digging this thing up and you never told me about it?” {He kind of knew about a hatch from Boone.}
Locke-“All due respect, Jack, but since when do I report to you?”
Jack-“All due respect, John, but you lied.”
Locke asks Jack how long did he have that case full of guns before he decided the rest of them needed to know, “You used your best discretion. I used mine.”
Jack wonders how they open it.
Sayid is shocked, “What? You want to open it?”
He feels they should bury it, “I brought you here to talk him out of this insanity. Anything could be inside.”
Jack-“Best case scenario there's supplies. Worse case, we use it as a shelter.”
Sayid-“Actually, Jack, I can think of much worse cases than that. You notice anything about this hatch? There's no handle. Could the reason for that be more obvious? Maybe it was never meant to be opened from the outside.”
Locke, Jack and Sayid walk back to camp; hear Kate calling for to Jack. Kate tells Jack it’s Michael; somethings' wrong.
Jack asks Michael, who has great stomach pain, what he had to eat and drink today. Michael had fruit, fish and 2-3 bottles of water. The water comes from the caves just like everybody else’s. Michael insists they have to launch that raft tomorrow. Jack knows that, but he needs Michael to take stay in the shade, take it easy and don’t move around too much. Jack has him lay back. Jack and Locke walk away and Kate tends to Michael telling him to lay down. Walt looks concerned.
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate is at Tom's house looking at pictures of his family on the refrigerator.



Tom is on the phone-“Hello? Hey, Adam. Hey, listen can you carve out some time for me on the MRI? Yeah, it's a favor for a friend of a friend. Um no, that would work out great, okay. Yeah. Thanks, Adam. {Hangs up and notes Kate looking longingly at the pics and tells her} His name's Conner.”
Conner is 22 months old next week. {Note pic of Tom has red eyes.}
Kate comments on the blond boy's beauty; Tom feels “It’s Rachel, it’s not me.”
Tom reveals she’s over in Cedar Rapids visiting her folks; they get back on Sunday. "I got Diane in for an MRI. Now, they'll bring her downstairs to radiology. The appointments not til 5am, so, we've got about three hours to kill.”
Kate- “Tom.”
Tom-“You're welcome.” {Was she going to say thank you?}
Kate-“You think it's still there?”
Tom- ”What?”
Kate-“You know what.”
Tom-“It's the middle of the night, Katie.”
Kate-“We might not get another chance."
They drive to a big tree with some cattle/steer grazing. Kate counts off six paces and they dig.
{Flash Whoosh}
“What do you think it is? Heat stroke?” asks Locke.
Jack doesn’t think so as Michael would have felt that coming on. It couldn’t be bad fruit or raw fish because Jin’s not sick and they’re on the same diet. Jack feels what was making him sick was metabolized fast; it hit him quick and it hit him hard. He looks through the cooler of empty bottles and comes up with one that proves something was put into the bottle of water.
Jin is working on the raft with a few of the camp residents.
Michael {white towel on his head} tells Jack the cramps are quieting down; as long as he doesn’t move or breathe. They notice Hurley and Locke chatting.
Michael asks-“You and Locke kiss and make up? {Jack shakes his head, no.} Good.”
Michael needs some water so Jack gives him one he knows isn’t tainted.
Michael-“Somebody did this to me?”
Jack doesn’t know; he’s not sure of anything yet. Walt sits nearby them watching and listening.
Michael states,“Sawyer.”

Hurley and Locke chat.
Hurley-“I'm on bamboo duty, but yeah sometimes I help refill the water.”
Locke inquires if Michael and Jin are getting along. Hurley says they fight like a married couple building a raft together.   Jack walks over and shares with Locke that Michael thinks Sawyer might have done it.
Hurley interjects, “Oh, because of Kate?”
Jack-“Kate?”
Hurley-“Yeah, I guess she wants on the raft. So Sawyer went off on Michael because, you know he gets to decide who goes. Hey, you don't think Kate did it do you?”
Locke wonders why Kate would poison Michael.
Hurley-“Well, you know… the whole… fugitive thing.”
Jack gives Hurley a “Ya opened your big mouth look”.
Hurley-“He doesn't know. Well how am I supposed to keep straight who knows what around here? I mean Steve didn't even know about the polar bear!”
Locke asks what she did. Jack doesn’t know but suggests Locke ask her.
Locke-“And you didn't think the others should know about this, Jack?”
Jack-“Discretion, John.”

Aaron sleeps in his crib. Charlie plays and bops to the tune he’s playing on guitar, as Claire simultaneously trims his hair. Claire needs him to stop moving or she’ll cut his ear off. Charlie is very happy that he is writing again, “I'm really feeling it as well. So, what's the first thing you're going to do when we get rescued?"
Claire doesn’t know. Charlie tells her she can hang out with him in L.A.. “You and turnip head. You know, until you figure things out.”
She thanks him.
Happy Charlie finds that smashing. “Okay, check this out. This is track two. It's called... Claire forces him to keep his head straight-eyes forward while she cuts} Sorry. It's called ‘Monster Eats the Pilot’.”

Jack is in the caves looking through the Oceanic-medical cart and Kate comes in asking how Michael is doing. Jack says he’s fine. Kate wonders if somebody is going to take his place on the raft, “because Dr. Arzt said if they leave tomorrow…”
Jack cuts her off and outright asks her if she poisoned Michael. Kate is shocked and insulted he’d think that!
Jack-“He's not sick, someone did this.”
Kate-“Do you really think I'm capable of that?”
Jack-“I don't know what you're capable of.”
Kate turns and walks away. {Watch her face.}
{Flash Whoosh}
Kate digs while Tom gets a beer from the car.
Kate-“You brought beer?”
Of course he did as he’s a self respecting Iowa man. Kate chugs some. Tom feels it’s not fair; her coming back here, home. Kate knows.
Kate digs and hit something metal-ish. She retrieves an old rusty New Kids on the Block lunch box. In the box is a red Westhills ball cap, the toy plane, a cassette tape.


Tom- “Oh my god. My plane. I can't believe I let you talk me into putting this in there.
Kate indicates no it wasn’t, “That was your idea.” She picks up the tape, “Kate and Tom, 1989.


They listen to the tape in the car. We hear the voices of sweet younger versions of themselves dreaming of their future.

Tom-”Is it on? I don't think it's on.”
Kate- “It’s on.”
Tom- “Okay, uh, this is Kate Austen and Tom Brennan and this is um, our dedication for our time capsule, here on August 15th, 1989. Hey, give me that back.”
Kate- “Why are you putting this stupid plane in there?”
Tom- “Because it's cool, Katie. I got it when I flew to Dallas by myself.”
Kate- “Ooh, that is cool, just like this time capsule.”
Tom- “It'll be totally cool when we dig it up in like… 20 years.”
Kate- “How do you know we'll be together?”
Tom- “Because we'll be married and you'll be a mom and we'll have nine kids.”
Kate- “I don't think so. As soon as I get my license we should just get in a car and drive. You know, run away.”
Tom-“You always want to run away, Katie.”
Kate- “Yeah…and you know why.”
The tape stops
Tom- “Funny how things turn out, huh?"
Kate-“Yeah.”
Teary eyed Kate kisses Tom; Kate is sorry.
Tom just suggests they get to the hospital. They drive off.
{Flash Whoosh}
Locke is sitting by a campfire mixing up some gunk paste in a coconut shell with his big knife. Walt walks over warily to him. He sees Locke has an injured leg and asks if it hurts. Locke admits it does; he had a little accident. Locke asks Walt if there’s something he want to tell him.
Walt-“I didn't do it.”
Lock-“Didn't do what?”
Walt- “I heard Jack. He thinks somebody got my dad sick. And I didn't do it.”
Locke- “You think because I know you burned the first raft that I'd think you made your dad sick? {He nods.} We're friends, Walt. I didn't tell on you before and I'm not going to tell on you now. {Locke touches Walt’s wrist.} And I know you would never do anything to hurt your dad.
Walt looks down at Locke's hand and quickly pulls his arm away as if he's afraid.
Locke-“What's the matter?"
Walt-“Don't open it.”
Locke-“What'd you say?”
Walt-“Don't open it, Mr. Locke. Don't open that thing.”
Locke- “What? What thing?”
Walt-“Just don't open it!”

Sawyer tosses a bottle of pink Stomach Relief medicine at Michael. He thought he might need it, “Wouldn't want our pilot out of commission before take-off.”
Michael wonders if Sawyer’s feeling guilty and informs him he’s off the raft. Sawyer’s pissed because they had a deal.
Michael-“Yeah, well, the deal ended the minute you decided to poison me.”
Sawyer- “What now?”
Michael waves him off, “I'm done with you.”
Sawyer-“You ain't done with me by a damn sight. You said you needed four!”
Michael- “I've got four! You've been stealing stuff off of dead bodies, keeping it for yourself, using it to buy favors. You're a liar and a criminal, and I'm not letting you near my boy."
Sawyer is shocked and pissed off! “Oh, I'm a criminal, huh? I poisoned you because I'm a criminal."
Jin pushes Sawyer away.
Sawyer tells Jin, “Get your hands off me, boy.”
Then he walks over to Kate and says, “Hey, sweet-cheeks, I had no idea how bad you wanted off this rock. Time to set things straight.”
He grabs Kate by the wrist and pulls her over to Michael. Kate demands he let go of her but he is going to reveal the identity of the real criminal to them. As everyone is chiming in for Sawyer to leave her alone, he opens her backpack and dumps her stuff out and presents the passport Kate was altering.


Sawyer- “You all remember Joanna, don't you? Huh? The woman who drowned? Now what's Kate doing with poor Joanna's ID? Could it be she'd do just about anything to get on that raft? So she could get herself rescued, run off with a new identity before half the reporters in the world descend on this damn island? She might even poison the captain himself.”
Kate yells for him to shut up.
Sawyer-“She don't care about nothin' or nobody but herself.”
{Flash Whoosh}
Tom and a hospital worker wheel Diane down the hallway. Tom dismisses his helper and motions to Kate she can come out now. Tom will wait in his office while she visits with her mom. Diane looks terrible and her eyes are closed.
Kate-“Hi, mom. Can you hear me? Mom?”
Diane slowly opens her eyes. Kate cries and tenderly touches her mother's hand, “It's me, Katie.”
Diane-“Katherine?”
Kate- “It's me, Katherine. I'm so sorry for everything I have put you through."
Diane starts to cry and very weakly calls out for “Help”.
Kate tries to tell her it's okay but Diane is hell bent on summoning help. A hospital worker sees Kate and she runs away; she runs right into a security guard who asks her what’s going on.
Kate shares that she’s her daughter, “She's just confused. I was going to get a doctor.”
The security guard grabs hold of Kate and radios that they have a situation. Kate grabs his walki talki and hits him.
Tom shows up, Kate needs his car keys. She takes off running and Tom runs after her.

They burst through the red door leading them to parking level 3.
Kate drives Tom in his car. {Plate-394-GC2} A police car blocks her escape! Kate tells Tom to get out! But Tom is not letting her do this, if she cooperates they’ll go easy and she can have a real life. Kate sees the cop calling for backup and demands he get out because she’s got to go, but he won’t go. Kate drives through the blockade and the cop fires three shots at the car hitting Tom. Kate takes off and crashes into another car. {Plate 614-GJ5}
Kate-“Tom? Tom! Oh god, Tom. No, no, no, Tom. Please wake up.”'




She sees that other cop cars are coming, notes the items on the backseat and takes off running.

"You wanna tell us why you need to run so bad." wonders Sawyer {Flash Whoosh}
"You wanna tell us the truth?"
After a few moments of hesitation, Kate admits she was on the plane with the Marshal and yes she was wanted, caught and was being transported back. "No matter what I say about what happened, about what I supposedly did...I'm going to jail. But I didn't poison you"
When she wants to step closer to Michael, he backs away from her. He also hands the passport back to Sawyer. Everyone seems a bit disgusted and walks away.

Jin and others working on the raft while Sun looks on. Jack walks over and mentions that he/Jin looks determined. Sun agrees and also admits that she doesn't want Jin to go. Jack asks if that's the reason she tried to make him sick, "Is that why you tried to make him sick? Michael and Jin working together all the time... pretty easy for them to get their water bottles mixed up."
Sun cries-"I didn't want him to die out there. I just didn't know what to do. I only used enough to make him...I wasn't trying to hurt him. Are you going to tell the others?"
Jack-"I don't see any reason why they need to know. But Sun, he's going. If I were you, I'd...I'd say goodbye."

Kate stands alone poking at a campfire with a stick. Sawyer informs her he's back on the raft, "Michael's gonna cowboy up, set sail tomorrow." She asks if he's there to say he's sorry.
Sawyer-"Nah, sorry don't suit me. You cornered me, Freckles. I did what I had to."
Kate-"I cornered you?"
Sawyer-"You said if you wanted my spot you were going to take it. I guess I believed you. Well, that's that. I've got some packing to do."
Kate asks why it's so important for him to be on that raft. Sawyer feels it's because there ain't anything on this island worth staying for. Kate tells him to be safe.
Sawyer-"Yeah."

Michael tells Walt he's feeling better, "I'm going to be alright. Hey, don't worry. I'm going to be on my feet soon. We'll be sailing home before you can even..."
Walt blurts out he's the one who burned the raft because he didn't want to leave and thought he could stop Michael. He is really sorry. Michael says it's okay, they can stay there and they don't have to leave.
Walt-"Yes we do." {Why?!}

Kate sits alone sulking and Sun walks over. Sun tells her Jack knows but she didn't tell that it was Kate's idea. After all, why should Kate be punished when she was only trying to help Sun. Jack said he wouldn't tell the others.
Kate-"Yeah, Jack's good at keeping secrets."
Sun-"When I was a little girl I believed that once I found the man I loved I would be happy... forever."
Kate-" Yeah, me too."




Born to run is a great episode!
Here's another episode of Kate on the run.   Is that Kate's role, her only role on the "Island"? She obviously has become a product of her circumstances too.   Her "one crime" has led to how many other crimes? Having this woman be eternally on the run is a cycle of sorts, wouldn't you say? {Wink, wink} How can that cycle be broken? Interesting that Sawyer knows exactly what Kate is capable of.

We discover Sun is the one who poisoned the water in hopes that Jin would drink it and have to stay with her. That's so romantic! But Kate is the mastermind behind the idea and the concoction! We also learn that Jack is very good at keeping secrets. Yes, even the perfect doctor is good at that!

Michael has been in hyper mode to get off the "Island" and I still find important. I know, now the monsoons are coming, which must have been bullshit because the weather didn't really change on or around the "Island".   Maybe Arzt isn't such a good teacher, but maybe he's a better motivator. But I do love Arzt! Obviously Michael and Walt know a few "little" things about the "Island".

Things to Note...Questions to ask...
* IMAGINING. Imagining what?!
* I.D. Identity. 
* Kate's plate on her car was changed from Nebraska to OHIO and we're led to believe her "flash" takes place in Iowa. Are we seeing just your run of the mill plate change or is it more important?
* MRI. Hospital.
* Charlie- “When I come back alive.”
* Neuro. Head.&
* Teach. Learn
* Hide.
* Wire.
* Roles. Prisoner. Marshal. Teacher. Doctor.
* Fly around.
* Right
* Wrong.
* Light and Dark.
* Michael knows. Here's the thing, I feel that the Lostie's know they've been “there” before; they just don't really remember. But Michael may remember more than he lets on, hence his hurried behavior to get off the island. I know, it sounds out there, but hey, this thought is brought to you by Karen. LOL! Or is all that about Michael and his "role"?
* Memory Box. Time Capsule.
* S.O.B. Walt does know! Is Walt speaking of the hatch or something else that shouldn't be opened? Hmmm…or maybe it's something else altogether. Maybe it's just me but when Walt says they have to leave, it feels like things are supposed to happen or take a specific route, so to speak.
* How many criminals are on this island?

Vocabulary and Research…
* Convertible-Adaptable-Changeable-Translatable-Exchangeable.
* J boat- The International J is the world's most popular one-design keelboat. The boat is manufactured in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body.




We still have the "Island" of secrets. The "Island" itself is a secret, what goes on on the "Island" is a secret, everyone on the "Island" are secret keepers! How will we ever know who is telling the truth?

What is Kate’s role in all that we see? Is she at the heart of it all? I don’t know, but sometimes I feel like they’re playing "Grownup make believe", like a grown up live role playing game.

I'm very excited about the next episode; there is much to talk about there! And of course season 2 is filled with so many things. Season one is a great foundation for this story, but the meat of it is yet to come!

Love to all who are "LOST"™



Posted on MySpace July 12, 2007

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress.

MEET KEVIN JOHNSON.

Let's talk about LOST! Meet Kevin Johnson.

At the barracks; we're given an outside view of John's house.
Claire, Aaron, Danielle, Karl, Alex, Hugo, Ben, James wait for the arrival of John and Miles. John thanks them for their patience. He didn't want to do anything about their next move until he knew more about their situation. "You deserve to know everything that I do. So, No more secrets."
He explains that Miles and his people came to the Island about a week ago.  He brought Miles back up from the boathouse to share why they are there.   Miles reveals they are there for Ben.
Hugo-"Uh, we kind a like knew that forever ago."
Sawyer is happy, problem solved, "How soon do we turn him over?"
We learn they can't turn him over because once they have him, their orders are to kill everyone else on the Island.
Claire-"So wait, he's one of us now?"
She's concerned that they're going to protect him after Ben tried to kill John.
Ben reveals his spy on the boat is Michael.
Sawyer recalls the Michael he knew, the one who sold them all out, so he could get off the Island.

Sayid, shoes on; Desmond, shoes off, sleeping in the freighter.
A loud buzzing sound wakes them.
Desmond has to put his shoes on.  They run to the deck.
The Captain is beating up his crew.
Gault-"The rules of desertion... still apply to everyone."
He goes on to tell the crew, "Nobody leaves this ship without my say-so! I'm not beating these men to scare you. I beat them to save your lives! Do you remember what happened to the last two men who took off in this boat? {touches little boat} Remember what happened to Minkowski?  As soon as we get the engines fixed, we're back in the hunt.  In the meantime, everybody just hold on. Johnson!"
The Captain has Johnson {wearing a hoodie} clean up the mess.  The rest of the pirates go about their business.
Sayid says hello to Michael.  Sayid wants to know what he's doing on the boat.
Michael-"I'm here to die."

After the meeting James stops John with Miles.  James thought there wasn't going to be anymore secrets. John didn't talk about the 3 million bucks his buddy asked for.   John confirms Miles offered his loyalty in exchange for the money, but John hasn't seen a bank on the Island so he didn't see a need to mention it.
Miles laughs, "Linus will find a way to get it."
Miles tells him, "Ben wants to survive, and considering a week ago they had a gun to Ben's head, and tonight he's eating pound cake, "I'd say he's a guy who gets what he wants."

Ben sees Karl's arm around Alex's waist as they play with Aaron. Ben tells Alex he wants her to go to the Temple; it's a sanctuary and claims it to be the last safe place on this island. He gives her a map from his pocket.
Karl asks why they didn't know about this.
If Ben told everyone then it wouldn't be a sanctuary.
Ben informs her that the rest of their people are already there. If she leaves now, she can get there in a day and a half.
Karl asks if it's safe why don't they all go there; Hurley, Claire, the baby?
Ben-"Because the temple's not for them, Karl. It's only for us."
Ben explains to Alex the people who are coming there know who he is and want to capture him. They will kill anyone who gets in their way "If they knew who you were…that you were my daughter, they would use you to get to me. We don't have much time."
Danielle agrees with Ben. They are more dangerous than him.
Ben assures Alex her mother will protect her, "OK, now go."

Sayid asks one of the sailors "Where is he?"
Desmond looks out to the water. He's in the engine room.
Michael using a ratchet to fix something, "I don't understand it. It should be working."
The other guy tells him the gaskets are corroded.
Sayid says the captain sent them down to help with the repairs. Michael has the other guy go look for a pressure valve from the supply room.
Michael to Sayid -"You shouldn't be here!"
Sayid grabs him because he wants info.
Michael tells him they can't see him talking to them and Sayid won't understand!
Sayid tells him to start from the beginning "And explain you came to be on this boat."

Water is pouring out from the faucet in an old filthy apartment. Michael writes in a steno note pad. The TV is old and turned off. Michael is wearing the Rolex from Jin. Siren and people's voices are heard in the building. We see a picture of him and Waaaaaalt.

Michael lives in an undesirable neighborhood. He gets in his green car. Radio on, Channel...s the volume to 17. 'Getting Better Every day' is on. {The song talks about growing stronger,etc.}  He pins the note on left side of his chest and drives down the city streets fast down to the docks. He crashes the car head on, on purpose! The car is destroyed yet the radio still plays. {Mirror}

Christmas time.

Michael's left eye opens.
Beeping:
He's in the hospital.
The monitor message says 'All Alarms Off. Admit Patient To Activate Alarms' in red. It also shows 'LEARNING'.
He is in the room with another patient. {Older man} We don't hear his beeping monitor.
The nurse walks in, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you Mr. Dawson." She tells him it's a miracle he's alive after a car accident.
He asks how badly he's hurt.
She-"Shhhh, you just need to rest now."
It's Libby with blankets, "It's a cold night, I brought you some extra blankets."
Michael freaks. His yelling seems to bring him back to "reality".
No Libby in the room {Room is BLUE}
According to the monitor MICHAEL HAS NO BODY TEMPERATURE, 11:02:11, his last BP was 11:02am, MAP 109, BPM---, SYS 135, D/A 88.
A nurse turns on the lights. {no wheelchair in the hall but there was one when Libby appeared}
She heard someone shout and something tells her it wasn't the guy in the other bed; he looks totally out of it. She tells Michael he's lucky to be alive. The EMT's found him with a note pinned to his chest, no ID. {Of course not, they have no ID} She asks his name but he doesn't answer. Then she asks if he wants her to call Walt.
Michael-"What?"
She says the note pinned to his chest was written to Walt. She asks again if she should call him. He says "No." {Michael is grayer}

Christmas tree and 2 candle lights in the window.
Michael tries to see Waaaaalt who is being cared for by Michael's mom. She won't let him in.
Mom-"I don't know what you said to that boy, but whatever it was he doesn't want to see you."
Michael begs, "He's my son. I have a right."
She tells him she thought he was dead; they said his plane crashed in the middle of the ocean. But he showed up there fine and dandy, "I can't tell anybody about You or Walt. I can't call you by your real names. He barely talks to me. But he does wake up screaming in the middle of the night. And I'm the one that's got to tell him it's gonna be OK. So until you can explain to me where you were for over two months and what happened, you gave up your rights."
Michael-"Will you tell him I love him?"
She will. A kid appears in the upstairs open window, looks at Michael and turns away. {doesn't really look like Waaaaaalt? Just like Vincent didn't really look like Vincent. lol}

Michael goes to a Pawn shop to trade his Rolex from Jin for a gun and bullets. The shopkeeper asks why there's Chinese writing all over it.
Michael corrects him, "It's Korean, man. The guy who gave it to me."
The shopkeeper-"You don't look like you speak Korean." {Michael probably can} He offers Michael $300 for it.
Mike's not looking for money, the trade is what he wants. The shopkeeper asks "What are you looking for?"

Michael {passes a 'Washing Station'} heads down an alley. Nervously loads the gun and tries to shoot himself.
A voice in the dark-"Excuse me sir, you do have the time?"
It's Tom. "Come on Michael. How bout for an old friend."
In the background there's constant beeping, sirens and buzzing.
Tom-"Manhattan, huh? We let you leave one island you just go to another one." {HA!!}
Mike shoots at Tom, they struggle. Apparently Tom isn't there for trouble, he seems to want to talk like adults. Tom offers his hand to help Michael and he takes it. Michael hits him with a broken wine bottle.
Tom pulls a gun "Enough!"
Michael wants Tom to kill him. Michael asks how they found him.
Tom-"We're the ones who sent you home, Michael. Did you honestly think we weren't gonna keep tabs?"
They want Michael's help.
Michael-"Why would I wanna help the son of a bitch who kidnapped my son?"
Tom replies they did give him back to Michael in one piece;  Michael's the one who lost him.
Tom appears shocked at Michael's expression "You told him didn't you? You couldn't carry the guilt of what you did to those two women all by yourself, so you shared it with a 10 year old kid."
Tom goes on to ask if that's why he wants to kill himself because Walt knows he's a murderer.
Mike demands he go away.
Tom reveals the "Island" won't let him kill himself. Tom hands him the gun, tells him to give it a shot if he don't believe him. "You got more work to do, Mike. When you figure that out, I'm in the penthouse at the Hotel Earl."

Tom walks away.

An old game show is on TV. Michael holds the gun to his head and pulls the trigger {As he pulls the trigger, a bell dings on the game show! Name- Kurt Vonnegut} Michael is not shot/dead! He checks the gun and verifies it's loaded. {check out the bullets} About to pull the trigger again he hears the News bulletin that the wreckage of Oceanic 815 has been found. The same female newscaster we've seen before.

Michael knocks 3x on the penthouse door.
Tom answers "I didn't expect you that fast."
There is a lovely fruit/food spread. Tom's lover Arturo is with him. Tom has business to attend to with Michael so he asks Arturo to get some air. {any MacCutheon's liquor there?}
Arturo-"Ciao."  They kiss.
Tom offers Michael some chow and explains "I don't make it to the mainland too often, so when I do I indulge myself."   {MAINLAND}
Michael-"So you people can just come and go?"
Tom admits that some of Us/Them can come and go.
Michael wants Tom to tell him "What my plane is doing at the bottom of the ocean."
Tom-"That's not your plane. It's a phony. A man named Widmore put it down there, and he staged the whole wreck."
Michael-"Staged? Why would he stage a..."
Tom-"Because he doesn't want anyone else finding where the real plane ended up... except for him."
Michael-"I'm supposed to believe this?"
Tom-"Did the bullet bounce off your skull, or did the gun just jam on you?"
Michael wants him to prove his Widmore claims so Tom produces a black file/folder with pictures of graves from Thailand for the 300 odd corpses he needed, purchase order for the old 777 he bought through a shell company, the shipping logs for the freighter he used to drop the whole mess down a trench deep enough to guarantee no remains could be identified. "Do you have any idea what it would cost to bring those bodies up?"
Tom tells him that in a few days a freighter is porting in Fiji, it's Widmore's boat. {not Penny's boat} They have reason to believe he finally found the coordinates of the island, "So congratulations, Michael. Your shore leave is over. You just got a job on that boat. Meet Kevin Johnson. You're joining the crew in Fiji's a deck hand."
Michael-"You want me to go undercover. Why the hell would I go back to work for you people?"
Tom explains if Widmore finds the island its goodnight for everybody on it. He'll kill them all without thinking twice, "You wanna redeem yourself for what you did this is your only chance. You can save all their lives."
Michael feels he can't go back to that Island.
Tom didn't say he was going back to the island and he's not even going on the boat to swab decks. He's going so he can kill everyone on board.

Michael arrives at the dock via a taxi/old station wagon with bucket seats. {a radio tower, school bus/luggage, potatoes, Miles, black hood on, George/radio, fish. He's wearing a hoodie and black cap, AX w/wings, black bag. {plane}
George asks him if he's their new engineer.
Michael is just a deck hand. George tells him they're all equals on this boat, "As long as you play decent Hold Um."
He removes his aviator sunglasses, introduces himself as George Minkowski and they shake hands. George has Kevin check in with Naomi, who is looking over lists. {Port of Suva}
Kevin tells Naomi "I'm reporting for duty.  Kevin Johnson."
Naomi Dorrit- "So you're from the states, yeah?"
New York; she can tell by the accent. He pegs her accent as her being from Manchester.
Naomi-"How'd you guess?" {no need to guess} She tells him this crate/footlocker came for him and she'll have it delivered to his berth. He heads aboard.

On board he runs into Miles eating an orange {Hood off} "Your name isn't Kevin. Don't worry, 80 percent of the people on this boat are lying about something." {But of course!} Miles offers him some orange.
Kevin's phone rings; It's Tom.   He figures flying can't be too much fun for Kevin. He makes sure he received his care package, "Wait a day or two until you're in the open sea then you're good to go."
Tom assumes Kevin met some of them now, putting names and faces, getting cold feet; and Kevin is.
Tom-"Well here are a few more names for ya, Sun, Sawyer, Jack, Claire, her baby, and the only way you're gonna save their lives is if you man up get on that boat. Or maybe you wanna come back and explain to your kid how you let of them die too. It's game time. Are you in or out?"   After a short hesitation, he's in. {Did Tom just trigger him into action?}
Tom tells him to ditch his phone, do his job.
Kevin throws his phone in the water.

Kevin looks out into the open water hearing Frank bicker about "flying these things while you were still in grade school", with Naomi.
Frank-"If any body's gotta go first it should be me."
Naomi needs him there to transport the science team back. He asks what she's up to but apparently she feels Frank doesn't need to know.
Frank walks over and introduces himself to Kevin. "Frank Lapidus. Chopper pilot."
Kevin-"Kevin Johnson. Deckhand."
Frank-"What your story? How did you end up in this tub?"
Kevin was looking for a little adventure.
Frank-"How do you like this for adventure?"
He goes on to tell Kevin the story of Oceanic 815 and asks if he ever heard about it. "What would you say if I told you the plane that they found in that trench wasn't Oceanic 815?"
Continues on about the nuts that think the moon landing was faked; this is like that, only real. "That's why I signed up for this trip, because the owner of this boat believes me. Charles Widmore. He believes that 815 is still out there somewhere."
He asks Kevin can he imagine what would happen if they found some of those people alive. Then Frank just walks away.

Kevin sits on the bottom bunk playing with the key that opens the crate/footlocker.
Kevin is washing the ship; he sees a few crew members shooting things. Kevin doesn't like the sound of the gunfire. Kevin thought they were going on a rescue mission. Keamy doesn't answer the question, "Don't you have something to mop up?" {Yeah, his own mess!!!}

Kevin takes a case out of the footlocker. He seems apprehensive to open it. He can hear the shooting practice going on. Michael walks down the hallway with the case to engine room. He unlocks the double locked case.
There's a "dummy" layer of tools and under that layer is a bomb!
He enters 7 1 7 7 6 and hovers his finger over the red EXECUTE button. He hears the song that was playing on the radio the day he crashed the car and whispers.
He sees Libby.
Libby-"Don't do it Michael." {She's wearing the same shirt as the day he shot her} All of a sudden she disappears! He looks around, confused and nervous. He pushes the EXECUTE button! The 15 second timer counts down/beeping...
Kevin says, "I love you Walt" and shuts his eyes in anticipation of the explosion. {Like a fucking Jack in the Box} a rod pops up with a message wrapped around it, instead of an explosion.  It reads, "NOT YET".

Kevin is in his room, sits on his bed and plays catch with himself; throwing the ball at the wall and catching it.
George knocks 5x and enters, "What are you going all Nicholson on us? You know, Jack Nicholson in the Shining when he's bouncing that ball against the wall. The next thing you know you're gonna go after your wife with an ax."
Kevin tells him he's not married, he throws the ball and George catches it on its return to Kevin.
George {Who seems to have all his faculties here} tells Kevin he has a call from the mainland. They patched it through to the radio room. {Patch/Mikhail?}
Kevin says it's a mistake because no one knows he's "here".
George-"You're the only Kevin Johnson on board, so somebody knows you're here."
He reveals the call is from Walt.
Kevin will take this call.
George leads him up to the radio room. Kevin asks for privacy.
George tells him to push this button and turn the knob on the console.
Kevin headphones/mic on and… "I'm so sorry Michael, but he's still in New York. So I'm afraid you're stuck with me." BEN!
Michael is speechless, then…"You put me on this boat, talk me into blowing it up, and when I pushed the damn button a flag pops up."
Ben-"You actually activated the bomb?"
Kevin yells "It's not a bomb, it's a…It's a joke."
Ben tells him there are people on the boat who are innocent, they have no idea the man they work for is a monster, a killer without conscience or a greater purpose. He had to show Kevin the difference between "Him and me. When I'm at war I'll do what I need to do to win, but I will not kill innocent people."
Kevin brings up Ana Lucia and Libby.
Ben reminds Michael that it was he who killed them, "No one asked you to."
Ben doesn't blame him as they had his boy "What wouldn't a man do for his son."
Ben wants him "to compile a list of names, every person on your boat. When I call again, you'll give me that list. Then you will disable the radio room you're sitting in. When the crew is disoriented by their lack of communication you'll take out the engines too. That way the boat can never get to this island and your friends will be safe. Will you do that for me, Michael?"
Michael will.
Ben-"Then consider yourself one of the good guys."
Michael cries.

Sayid and Desmond have been listening to Michael's story. It is established Michael is working for Benjamin Linus. Sayid grabs and forces Michael to the Captain's quarters.
Sayid tells the Captain this man is not who you think he is. Sayid blabs he was a passenger on Oceanic 815, he spent 2 months with him on the island "before he betrayed us. This is the man who sabotaged your radio room, he destroyed the ships engine and his name isn't Kevin Johnson. It's Michael Dawson...and he's a traitor."

Danielle, Alex and Karl rest up and drink on their way to the Temple; two minutes. Danielle checks the map.
Karl seems antsy, "I just have a bad feeling about his. What if your dad is playing us?"
She doesn't like taking orders but knows Ben doesn't want her to get hurt.
Karl-"Well at least we've got something in common."
His water bottle is shot. Then Karl is shot. {Ear piece}
Danielle and Alex take cover behind a tree. {Mic/earpiece/wire hangs from side of Alex's head}
Danielle tells her on the count of three they're going to run and she tells her she loves her. She counts, they run….Danielle is shot!
Something moves in the tall grass.
Alex is panicked- "Wait. Wait. Don't! I'm Ben's daughter! I'm his daughter!"



Meet Kevin Johnson is a GREAT EPISODE!!
Wake up!  The "Island"... always the "Island".    They never leave the bubble that surrounds the "Island".     Santa Rosa/mental health/emotions is a connection too.  Some seem to keep their emotions locked up. Healing, fixing themselves.
They also seem to be able to seek a "safe" place.

According to the bearing given to Michael by Ben he was only going to get as far as where the freighter is, in the middle of open water!  Think about it.  Is the freighter ALWAYS there? Hmmm…. What is the purpose of the freighter, really?   How did Michael get from that "rescue" point with Walt to the "Outside World"?     Is there really an "Outside World"?  Hmm!?  Are there any other "freighters" involved?
Let's remember this and see if it pans out into anything… {AX} The Åland Islands.

Things to note…Questions to ask...
* When are the "Flashes"   from?  These seem very disjointed and out of place.
* Lots of Green Eyes this season. We have seen other colors in the past. Why…altered state of consciousness, genetics, fucking droids, The Green Lantern?
* NO I.D.
* Head. Temple. 
* Berth/Birth. {rebirth-enlightenment/levels} Alive.
* Map
* Learning.
* Washing Station. Cleansing. 
* There's only 1 helicopter and pilot on the freighter. Remember Naomi's arrival to the island? So Frank dropped off Naomi. What really happened to the heli that night?
* The game show was more from the 80's or early 90's era. It doesn't say Game Show Network on the corner.
* Who is in the bed next to Michael?
* So what's really the issue with Walt? Mike did what he had to, to save Walt. Why would the kid hold that against him?
* How could Ben's people get Michael a job on Widmore's boat? Hmmm.
* What else is real, fake, phony, staged. Bla Bla Bla...
* Frank tells Kevin he signed up for this trip. Abaddon told Naomi he was picked/recruited for it!
* WHAT IS ALEX? REALLY?
* I wonder how many times we've seen the smoke monster or a transformed being and assumed it was one of the Castaways or Others?
* Visions. Dreams. Hallucinations. In those dreamlike states, hypnosis comes into play too. Post hypnotic suggestion. Communicating/hearing the next move. Triggers.
* Headset. Headphones. Telephone.
* Ear pieces, Implants, Wires, Monitors/machines, Bugs, Drugs, Brain washing, Hypnosis…Could be how they are being tricked into what they are experiencing.
* Consciousness. Unconscious, sleeping mind.
* Did Ben have Karl and Rousseau eliminated from the playing field?
* Cold.
* Military experiments, exercises, tests, drills, games. War Games. Rules. Hunt.
* Michael comments about going back to work for them. Releasing Ben from the Swan hatch, that can't be what he's talking about. I still think Michael has ties to the island and the people that go back a long time. He run through the "Island" adventure more than once already.
* Karl's water bottle only has 1 hole from the shot. Shouldn't a bullet passing through make 2 holes?
* Michael's passport (Kevin). Ben's/Dean passport. Joanna's passport (season 1) had HNS012153. Plus Michael is smiling in the photo. A Passport No-No!
* Mike gets rid of the Rolex. Tracking chip in it?

* There is a "learning process" going on with this adventure experience/journey. 
* The BOMB is fucking rigged with a POP UP FLAG NOTE. Playing games!

The name is the abbreviation of Schweizerische Unfallversicherungsanstalt (German for Swiss National Accident Insurance Fund) It was founded 1912 and for a long time held a monopoly for compulsory coverage for employees in high risk professions.




I loved this episode!   It was filled with lots of information.
I think this is important… Can Michael heal that fast?   No, unless he's really on the "Island".  Otherwise it is a different Christmas or… none of it is fucking real; it is happening in conjunction with an altered state of consciousness!   If the "Island" won't let you die could it logically be Michael in the coffin in Through The Looking Glass? Nope.
I have felt since the very beginning Michael is involved with these people and the "Island".
Michael, a civilian with a job on a ship or an enlisted man...

Michael is "ADRIFT" again.

Love to all who are "LOST"™

Here's some important pictures
Joanna's Passport that Kate tried to doctor and get on the raft with Michael- NOTE the 3 PASSPORTS ALL HAVE "HANSO" ON THEM!

























Michael's 2 monitors in the Flash. Interesting!
It gives us important information.























Posted on MySpace April 10, 2009

I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right! The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either! You all know I hate spoilers! And I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good! Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance! It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
